A person buys a share for $ 50 and sells it for $ 52 after a year. What is the total profit made by him from the share?
(I) A company pays annual dividend
(II) The rate of dividend is 25%

I got stumped
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

(II) The rate of dividend is 25%

I got stumped
(I) INSUFFICIENT - We Don't know how much each dividend was.
(II) INSUFFICIENT - We Still Don't know how much each Dividend was.

Together still don't know how much dividend was given.

Answer is E.

From looking at the history of this question, it doesn't seem like this would ever appear on the real GMAT exam. It's supposedly "too vague".
